What's with the 60-140? Isn't everyone else doing 60 to 130? It's easier to do in the US and 60 to 130 is in most car mags (not 60 to 140).

 

LOL like the 10mph is a big difference Anyway i didnt even pay attention quite honestly, i just thought 60-140 was a good solid run, oh well. I use to test my m3 that way as well.

 

Bill

Let's do 60-140s as well, we will be comparing apples to apples vs. our 996 brothers, this way we have the same number of shifts, vs. one shift less for them in a 60-130mph run Interesting point you bring about the stage 4, was it the same number of shifts?

Thanks for posting your runs, still have not seen almost any other new runs despite all those Ax22s floating around now.

Particularily interested in seeing a JETJOX run, that car flies apparently. Also some GT700, GT900+, etc.. Obviously any run from any car is interesting to see..

Thanks for posting.

 

Well i start out in 2nd at 60mph, then end at 140 by redlining to 7k in 4th gear, its dead on!! BTW that was my car with just a basic stg 2, now my car is WAYYYYY faster, especially with frotn driveshaft out and disconnected !

 

You might be surprised at speedo error, you will be in 5th gear by the time you get to 140mph even at 7K RPMs ..

 

I even have the video but cut it off at i think it says 138, an extra split second i wouldnt have still been at top of 4th on verge of bouncing off limiter, but it hits it at least on video . Whether or not its really going that quick, i dont know. But i was on ROW suspension and stock wheels

 

This is absolutely correct, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that speedometer error is what makes you see those numbers. In reality, you will be shifting at around 132mph based on GPS speed while you will be seeing closer to 140mph on your speedo.

Both Bill S. and I had this experience, and I have checked the numbers for a 996 based on several of the runs seen here in the other AX22 thread...Your car is very quick I have driven a similar one with the ZC Stage 2 turbos which I guess is what you have..?

 

Nope i have stock turbo's.. Im stg2+ essentially with the addition of the v flow now. I have diverter valves, fvd export exhaust with cat bypass pipes, stg 2 fvd race tuning and umm that's about it, with a little cranking of the stock wastegates. Pulls 1.1 in first, and steady 1.0 in all gears, 1.1 in hgiher gears.

This is all after the video i filmed of my car going 40-140 and 40-100, which were extremely quick! Some people think i have hybrid turbo's because its so damm quick, but i doubt it!

 

Here's what I think is the first AX-22 measurement for a Ferrari Challenge Stradale:

60 to 130 MPH = 11.77 seconds

I've found the CS to be slightly quicker than a stock 996 TT during races. This time seems to confirm that.

 

Hmm interesting, just calculated my 60-130 approx from my 40-140 run, and it was 9. something seconds, low to mid.

 

ILLM3
If you live anywhere close to Bill S. you are welcome to use my AX22 when he is done with it.

Both him and I found out that video and speedometer + stopwatch is largerly prone to errors, no matter how accurately one looks at the vid. The speedometer is off and you can see 1 second differences easily once you have the AX22.. Your car does seem very fast, congrats.

Bill, great data! any CGTs in your neck of the woods?

 

Ok thankyou very much for the offer. Cant wait to test my runs now, no straight pipes so no overbbosting my small k16's, evo v flow and RWD

My car def. is a freak!

 

How do you get 7000 RPM? My car hits the limter at 6K in first (which I understand is typical because the engine ouruns the tach). It shows 6000 but the car is running 6500. I have seen this on 4 diffrent 996TTs that I test drove before buying mine.

In all other gears the car definitely hits a 6500 limiter. I gave GIAC stage 3 (K24 program). Is a 7000 rpm limiter an option I can ask for?

 

Are you guys taking fyling runs at 60 and going to 140?

Or starting from a steady 60 and punching it?

 

Funny you should ask. Stay tuned...
